Hi,
Why can’t the Avast Secure Browser be linked to the VPN I already have through my subscriptions, as it is not reassuring that the secure browser is secure when it advises your data is unprotected and at risk due to no VPN, thanks

Is the secure browser password manager secure as I get informed I need to download breachguard as my passwords are at risk, doesn’t the password manager in the secure browser protect my passwords, thanks

Hi,

On the question about VPN: Currently we do have a Browser PRO that contains as well VPN for users to be protected and cover that use case. But we know and understand that for users with an existing VPN subscription, this setup is not ideal. This is why we are currently in the process of evaluating on how we can make it better - research still ongoing.

On the question about Password manager and breach guard: Password Manager helps you creating secure and strong passwords and saves them for you. So when fully used, it makes sure that the passwords are strong and hard to hack (if auto-generated passwords are used). Breach guard on the other hand lets you check whether credentials have been breached. This can happen for example for passwords that are not strong enough. So breach guard is an additional safety measure in addition to password manager

Hope that answers your questions.
